A Survey of the Green Jacket Club of the North Texas State Teachers College and its Contributions to the Organization of Similar Clubs in the Secondary Schools in Texas

Thurman, Mary Ellen 08 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to discover and report the history of the Green Jacket Club of the North Texas State Teachers College from its origin to the present time, to find out how many similar clubs have been organized by Green Jacket members in the secondary schools of Texas, and to show how the club is organized compared with the original Green Jacket Club. The following conclusions were made: 1. The members of the Green Jacket Club of the North Texas State Teachers College were a representative group of girls, for the eighty-two studied had majored or minored in sixteen of the nineteen major departments offered by the college. 2. The Green Jacket members surveyed were a professional and progressive group of girls, since exactly fifty per cent have continued their education by doing graduate work. 3. The members of the Green Jacket Club have expressed their loyalty to North Texas State Teachers College by their return to the Teachers College campus to do their graduate work. 4. More than half of the Green Jackets surveyed were still in the teaching profession, which indicates their success in this line of endeavor. 5. Membership in forty-six different clubs indicated that Green Jackets make good club women. 6. Further evidence of the professional spirit of the Green Jackets was shown by their large membership in the Texas State Teachers Association, Parent-Teacher Associations, and National Education Associations. 7. The belief that Green Jacket members were largely leaders was verified by the fact that twenty-six of the eighty-two Green Jackets studied had sponsored sixty-three clubs. 8. The influence of the Green Jacket Club has been felt not only on the campus of North Texas State Teachers College but in at least twenty-four towns and cities in Texas. 9. These twenty-four clubs were found to be similar to the Green Jacket Club in type of organization, number of members, requirements for membership, types of uniforms, initiation procedures, and serveries rendered in the respective communities. 10. Most of the clubs organized similar to the Green Jacket Club have been a pleasant experience for the Green Jacket sponsor, probably because she was so impressed by the far-reaching influence of the Green Jacket sponsor and wished to follow her example. 11. The attitudes of the administrators and student body of the schools in which these clubs were organized were similar to the favorable expressions of the administrators and student body of the North Texas State Teachers College. 12. The attitudes of the communities toward the clubs was also favorable due probably to the various services these clubs rendered to these communities.
